It’s a cold and snowy day here in Maryland and I’ve been taking it really easy. I did get up this morning and finish the blocks for a WIP that’s been in the works for quite a while.

Hard to believe but that’s 100 blocks! I had probably a third of these done on New Year’s and decided to spend 30 minutes each morning working on it. I’ve gotten up a little earlier each day and had my coffee while I sewed, pressed, sewed, pressed, and there we are! I started this quilt back in 2022 and it was a leader/ender project for a while. It was so nice to just sit down and focus on this project.

The pattern is just a simple nine-patch block where I’m using a soft pink with a ton (I mean a ton!) of different colorways of the same pattern. If you’re unfamiliary, the star of this show is Liberty Betsy, one of my favorite prints of all time! I can’t take full credit for this idea, Bec of Sew.Be did this as a quiltalong back in 2022 when I started. I can’t wait to see this one all laid out.

This pair of socks is sloooowly coming along, I’m getting a few rows in here and there. This yarn is Hedgehog Fibres twist sock in the colorway, Budgie. This is a long coveted colorway and was a gift from a dear friend – it always feels so good to knit up favorite and hoarded skeins of yarn.

Happy making!
